ESSAY 11 – Data Visualization
Research: Annotation and Color
Background: According to Kirk (2016), typography will have a significant role in your visualizations. You have to be careful with your text, but you must also be concerned with how the text looks. This then leads to color and functional harmony. You must provide the balance of colors in your visualizations (Kirk, 2016). The harmony of colors you select during design will impact many aspects of the overall visualization.
Assignment: Write a research paper that contains the following:
Discuss Typography and the importance of appearance of text
Discuss the following color harmonies: (Usage, Pros, and Cons)
Complementary colors
Analogous colors
Triadic colors
Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.
